Tuesday Ten: Favorite Books

The Bible: I try to read it cover to cover every year---right now I'm in the middle of Numbers.

The Shack, William Young: This book actually changed my personal relationship with God, and helped me find a way to feel closer to Him on a daily basis.

Gone With The Wind, Margaret Mitchell: I also watch the movie at least once a year....but the book is so much more in-depth and so much better.

Bridges Of Madison County, Robert James Waller: Love this movie as well.....but with the book I can always skip easily to my favorite sections and read them.

Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte: My favorite romantic classic.

These are books that I have recently discovered:

Twelve Years A Slave, Solomon Northup: Read it before watching the movie, and was SO moved by it. I have a feeling it will move into the read and re-read category.

Somewhere In Time, Richard Matheson: As many times as I've seen this movie (my all time favorite film, in fact!) I can't believe I'd never read the book until this weekend. So much more emotion than the movie, and I cried several times.

Beneath It All, Tori Madison: This is a fabulous fictional story of a woman diagnosed with breast cancer--her medical and emotional experiences rang very true with me. Looking forward to reading the sequel in the near future.

Wow, you have a great list! I have to admit I have tried to read Gone With The Wind several times and never make it all of the way through, but I love the movie. I also love Bridges of Madison County. Thanks for sharing! :)
